If I currently have a Equifax secure certificate installed on a certain RAQ 3, and I want to move it (and it's secure site) to another different RAQ 3 server. Can this be done, or do I have to purchase a whole new certificate?

Does anyone know how (if possible), I would do so. What files to move etc?

Thanks,
DK

You can move it.

As I recall, you must move the files inside the "cert" folder of the account. /home/sites/site##/certs

Then you must also move the cert info inside /etc/ssl/certs to the new server.

Remeber to enable the SSL option for the account before moving the cert.

Once everything is moved, and you have enabled the new site just go into SSL settings and take a look.

Remember to CHMOD back every folder you touch.

Thanks for the help Cephren,

What permissions should I chmod the folders to once I have moved the files?

Thanks again,
DK

Hi,

Remember that the cert is the least of your worries, make sure you move over the private key file over, as if you lose this you'll probably need a new certificate.

This is all documented in the Raq manuals on their website, they give you the exact directories to look for. ;)

Jabba,

I have looked on the cobalt site (including the cobalt raq 3 manual), as well as the Equifax site, and have not been able to find anything about moving the private key or certificate. Sorry if I am missing it, but can you provide me a link or more instructions?

Thanks, I really appreciate it.
